    Reproduction VIN Stickers

    Need some help from the collective wisdom here. Who makes the most factory correct reproduction VIN stickers these days? I purchased one from CarBone years ago but it didn’t have the factory stamping perforations. I tried doing a search for posts about this topic, but couldn’t find anything more recent. Thanks

    On PP forum some have recommended this vendor. Has anyone herein tried them and been happy with the quality of their reproductions?

    Thanks Simon. Some comments on PP mentioned that some of the font sizes, spacing and style were not exactly factory correct on the CarBone ones, but maybe they’ve been improved over the years? See Post #10 in this link for details.

    At first glance, notable differences between the B, C, D, O, R. Kerning in the "MA" in "MANU-" and the "SH" in "SHOWN" are off.

    No. MY 70-On. Having said that, I believe I’ve seen early 70MY with build dates in ‘69 with ‘69 dated compliance decals.
